Some old-school nerds are concerned that Twilight fans will ruin Comic-Con for the "normal people"- what with all their screaming and girly parts.
Anyone who attended last year’s Comic-Con can attest to how much of a cluster-fuck was caused by Twilight’s presentation in Hall H. Hundreds of tweens and Twilight Moms/Dads camped overnight to be the first ones into Hall H. By the time the “normal people” began to line up hours before doors were set to open, thousands of Twilighters were already in line
Or as The Beat put it: SD09: And the little girls know how to screw it up
There is nothing bigger at Comic-Con than Twilight. It’s the queen of the castle — because when male nerds like something, it’s one thing, but it takes teenaged girls to really take it on beyond to the next level, with hypersonic shrieking.
....
It does unfair that Avatar watchers will be squeezed out by little girls who don’t give a crap about 3D

hypersurfaces posted a con report about WisCon that focused on the obesity of the con attendees on the Something Awful board . The post is seriously unfunny and full of fail. She later had the post deleted, but it was later reposted at a related site, Something Awful Sychophant Squad.hypersurfaces about how they would hurt/STAB her if they saw her on the street. hypersurfaces is forever and ever banned from WisCon. But not content with that, people -- including badgerbag -- find her real name, her school, and write to her dean saying she was violating the schools sexual harrassment policy. I'm not posting the link because it has her real name in it, and I like my permanent account here too much to risk the ToS. hypersurfaces real name and real info are posted all over by fen who have previously rallied against that sort of thing - because in this case, she clearly deserves it. The casual threats of violence are astounding, and now apparently people are writing her and saying they're going to hurt/kill her - using the real name/addresses so thoughtfully provided by the angry wisconners. Kudos to the mod there for at least stepping up and telling people to knock the shit out.coffeeandink. hypersurfaces's post originally went up.
